A 46 year old man who barricaded himself in his home on Wednesday after having some run-ins with a grader and a street sweeper has yet to make it through the booking process, because Saskatoon Police say he continues to be uncooperative.
Officers responded to a report of a man causing damage to a grader around 7:30 Wednesday morning and then when a street sweeper came to clear up the debris, police say he interfered again.
He fled and officers weren’t able to take him into custody, but then around 3 in the afternoon, the man had barricaded himself in his home.
The Crisis Negotiation Team attended the 1500 block of Hilliard Street East, along with the Explosive Disposal Unit robot, Patrol officers, the Tactical Support Unit and the Canine Unit.
Around 11 p.m., members of the TSU were able to enter the home.
A bean bag round was fired and the man was taken into custody after being transported to hospital for treatment of a minor injury.
He is facing mischief, and various weapons charges.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
